Hi,
....although they would all hate just being thought of as astro pin-up girls
Prof Penny Sackett was a favourite person of mine to read about. She was Chief Scientist of Australia.

and Carolyn Porco, appears in TV docos, and a leading planetary astronomer

There's a long list of talented women in astronomy, going back to Hypatia of Alexandria.
Cheers
